Out With the Old, In With the New

March 5, 1960 was an important day in my life... and quite a few other folks lives, too, it appears.

Amazing stat to think about. ;-D

Soooo...Anyone important, and famous, die on my Birthday in the last 48 years? In the centuries before I entered the world?

Here's a list from the above website, and my favorites.

Unusual Deaths in 1960

Baritone leonard warren collapsed on the stage of the new york metropolitan opera of a major stroke during a performance of la forza del destino. according to legend, the last line he sang was "morir? tremenda cosa." ("to die? a tremendous thing.") however, witnesses say he was just past that aria and his actual last line was "gioia, o gioia!" (joy, oh joy!)

In the nedelin disaster, over 100 soviet missile technicians and officials died when a switch was turned on unintentionally igniting the rocket, including red army marshal nedelin who was seated in a deck chair just 40 meters away overseeing launch preparations. the events were filmed by automatic cameras.
